Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4012742A1] According to one embodiment, an analytical X-ray tube includes a vacuum enclosure with an output window to transmit X-rays, a disc-shaped anode target provided in the vacuum enclosure and opposing the output window, an anode support that supports the anode target by attaching a tip end thereto, a converging electrode provided on an outer circumference of the anode target and a cathode filament provided on an outer circumference of the converging electrode and emitting electrons to be irradiated on to the anode target. The anode support includes a distal end portion an outer diameter of which is smaller than an outer diameter of the anode target, and a rear side portion on a rear side of the distal end portion, an outer diameter of which is greater than the outer diameter of the anode target, and an outer surface of the rear portion is coated with a coating layer of a same material as that of the anode target.
